Kudos to Our Alumni

This series highlights alumni given kudos by others.

Joe Kresky '04 serves as a Pastoral Minister at Sacred Heart Parish in Sauk Rapids, MN. In that capacity, Joe provides adult education in areas such as baptism and wedding preparations, RCIA instruction, and support with adult and youth formation programs. He

actively recruits and trains lay servant leaders within social justice ministries, the hospital, and nursing home visitations. Joe also partners with his pastor at Mass, funerals, and other liturgical services.

Brenda Kresky '00 serves as the Director of Pastoral Planning for the Diocese of St. Cloud in Minnesota. In that role, Brenda spearheaded the plan for Area Catholic Communities. Formerly independent parishes are coming together - sharing staff, buildings, and other resources collaboratively for the common good. Brenda remains an incredibly important person in follow-up to the implementation of Area Catholic Communities.

Together, they serve as mentors for other couples who are preparing to get married. Joe and Brenda and their family enjoy the outdoors and like to go camping, hiking, and biking. Brenda and Joe are both School of Theology and Seminary graduates and are the proud parents of four wonderful young adults.
